Happy Birthday B.B. King

Wednesday, 9/16/09, is B.B. King's 84th birthday and he is still going strong. In recognition I that I thought In would post some videos of him.

This first video is from a television appearance in 1968.



He performs "The Thrill Is Gone" in this video from the 1974 concert in Kinshasa, Zaire. This concert was staged to coincide with the Heavy Weight Championship fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, otherwise known as the Rumble in the Jungle.



Here King appears with Shemekia Copeland on the David Letterman show.



Finally, here he performs "When Love Comes to Town", a song written for him by Bono.
